FEATURED PILOT PROGRAM: Hope to Home in Whittlesea

Many young people face obstacles when trying to secure stable accommodation due to no rental history, lack of affordable housing, and no employment to sustain rental leases. The Hope to Home in Whittlesea pilot program will address these issues by:

Facilitating the transition of up to 30 young people (and their children) from the Hope Street in Whittlesea program or Whittlesea Housing into 1 and 2 bedroom units

Providing case management once they secure private rental of these units

Helping these young people maintain their tenancy, employment, education and training, and community connections

Engaging the support of community stakeholders including local businesses to address barriers contributing to youth homelessness
